Chapter 21: Wo Dong
"No, Uncle Zhang, you use it slowly, I'll go and see what is cooking, and add some ingredients to them, so that the soldiers don't catch a cold." Zou Yu waved his hand and refused.
"Go, go!" Zhang Zhongjian knew that Zou Yu was going to release ginseng, so he didn't stop it, he was willing to make the soldiers stronger, after all, he was the one who mainly led the troops to charge.
"Uncle Wang! You're cooking! "Uncle Wang, the eldest, can be described as versatile, bamboo work, carpentry, kiln firing everything. Zou Yu is one of the most dealings with him.
"Hey, hey! Xiao Yu is here, what do you want to eat? Uncle Wang got it for you! Uncle Wang's swarthy and wrinkled smiling face looked so kind, and he was only forty years old, but he had worked for many years, and he knew that he was very old.
"No, no, I'm just here to add something to everyone, so as not to freeze." Zou Yu waved his hand and said, then dropped a handful of deer antler velvet and half a ginseng in each cauldron.
"Fortunately, with Xiao Yu here, life is so nourishing, I think it's just too good." Uncle Wang looked up at the cheering crowd in the distance, shook his head and said.
"This is all earned by everyone's hard work, and it is rare to be free in a foreign land, and it is good to be happy."
"Humph! Who is so moisturized now, often big fish and meat, and still unhappy? Uncle Wang said with a glaring eye.
"Yes! Yes! I ate more meat this year than I have in more than 30 years before. The other Uncle Liu nodded approvingly.
"And Xiao Yuzi made this thing a big supplement! My old cold legs are all healed, and this winter is not painful at all. Uncle Li, who was burning the fire, continued.
"It's a good thing, but it's too fierce to make up, and I can't sleep at night if I'm inactive." Uncle Liu glanced at the pot, swallowed his saliva and said.
"Haha! I see that you old man Liu is missing his mother-in-law! Uncle Li laughed.
"Whew! Old man Li, don't you want to? It's like I'm a bad person. ”
"What's the hurry, take care of your body, and go back next year so that you can get two babies out." Uncle Wang said calmly.
"Uh-huh! It's just that this winter is a little harder. ”
"Looks like I won't be able to add deer antler velvet next time." Zou Yu looked at them and talked about women, his eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully.
"Put some, put some, eat all the energy, look at everyone, they are all strong." Uncle Li hurriedly said.
"What, you can still put some of it, it's very powerful!" The firelight was shining, and Uncle Liu said with a "ruddy" face.
"Hey, hey! Uncle Liu, don't worry, eat it every few days, there is still no problem, those barbarians don't know the goods, and I still have a lot of them. ”
"Two stupid people, Xiao Yu teased you, he is not a stingy person."
"Alas! I never thought that refined salt could be put into the pot one by one. Another person sighed.
"When we go back, everyone can find a place to boil salt by themselves, even if there is no ore, buy some coarse salt and boil it all over again." Zou Yu pointed.
"Hey, yes! As long as you don't sell it and eat it yourself, no one cares. ”
"Xiao Yu is smart, the court doesn't allow the sale of illicit salt, but we make it ourselves and eat it ourselves, and no one can care about it." A few people began to talk.
"Humph! Think about it, if you can't control your mouth and be known by others, some people don't care whether you sell illegal salt or not, at least you make it privately, just buckle a hat down, and think about the consequences for yourself. Uncle Wang snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly.
"The official word is two, it's not just a casual statement!" Uncle Li continued lightly.
"The point is that this is a priceless method, and I don't know if anyone will see the wealth, those big families are not good people." Uncle Liu said with a melancholy face.
"Yes, yes! Be sure to tell everyone, don't tell outsiders! At first, the man's face changed, and he hurriedly said.
Zou Yu listened on the side, understanding that this was a maintenance of himself, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "I will definitely let everyone eat without salt in the future." ”
"Yu Wazi has the ability, and she will definitely be able to be a big official in the future." Uncle Li said with a smile.
"Of course, it's better to be a general, I think it's easier to fight with Yuwazi." Uncle Liu nodded in agreement.
"Huh! The blessing of dragging two, when you become a general in the future, you will definitely bring everyone to enjoy the blessings. Zou Yu said with a smile.
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, come quickly!" Fang Zhiyuan shouted.
"You're busy, I'll go over and have a look."
"Go, go, I'll leave you a big fish." Uncle Wang waved his hand and said with a smile.
"What's the matter, you can't learn from your brother, so calm!" Zou Yu said with a look of disgust.
"He wasn't calm, he was practicing tacit understanding, and he deliberately didn't let himself talk too much." Fang Zhi's face fell, and he looked at his brother with resentment. And Fang Zheng looked indifferent, just a hint of smugness in his eyes, obviously in a good mood.
"Uncle Zhang said that there are too many fish, if they are all smeared with salt and air-dried, there will be no salt to eat in the future, what should you do?"
"Isn't there a water tank at home? Raise some. The weather will not get bad, and it will be broken and hung outside the house, and it will be the same if you don't touch the salt. Zou Yu thought for a while and said.
"I said I could not touch the salt!" Fang Zhi muttered, turned around and ran, Zou Yu found that the tacit understanding between the two brothers had indeed gone further, and the movements of turning around and starting just now were almost exactly the same, exactly the same.
"I don't know if there is still a shortage of people in the honor guard of the three services." Zou Yu teased himself, and then went to see the fish, but it was not easy to clean up any more steps.
This look is really shocking, there are countless big and small fish, there are not so many things to install, the doors and windows in front of the house, densely packed have all been hung, and the whole village is wafting with a fishy smell.
"Looks like I've been able to eat for a long time." Zou Yu looked around and said.
"I didn't expect that eating fish would also make me vomit one day." Liu Jin said with a bitter face.
"Be content, it's good to have fish to eat, it's better than coarse grains of wild vegetables every day." Zhang Zhongjian said nonchalantly.
For him, the current life is much better than before, Zou Yu heard him say, because when he was a teenager, he was taken away by a Kunlun slave, and he has been living overseas, and many times he has to starve, and finally met a Taoist priest before he settled down.
He never disliked what he ate, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would eat a big meal, and he could go without eating for two days without affecting the battle. So he also cherishes food the most.
"It is said that Liaodong will not thaw until May, so are we staying here for more than half a year?" Liu Jin asked with a frown.
"What else do you want to do? In a few days, the snow will reach the thighs, and the door will not be able to get out. Zhang Zhongjian asked rhetorically.
"I don't know how these barbarians lived? I'm worried that the food won't last that long. Liu Jin said with a bitter face.
